The overlapping of curves, straight lines or spirals makes a series of intersections in the US, Japan, UK … be likened to “horror” for first-time drivers.
As an elevated highway located in the city of Shanghai, Yan’an is likened to a “horror” for drivers when entering the “maze” inside. The intersection consists of 6 levels of complex bridges that allow thousands of vehicles to pass through every hour. There is also a crosswalk for pedestrians and a crosswalk for local vehicles.

The inner ring highway from Yan’an intersection leads directly to Nanpu Bridge , which connects the two sides of Shanghai. The bridge with its unique multi-turn twisted structure not only solves rush hour congestion but also has aesthetic value in architecture. Nanpu is the busiest bridge in China, with about 14,000-17,000 traffic passing every day. In particular, the idea of this bridge is from a 9-year-old boy. (Photo: Cities Skylines Mod).
The Tom Moreland intersection (USA) is known as the “spaghetti junction” . The complex expressway in Atlanta is designed with an overlapping five-story bridge system.

Tom Moreland was officially completed in 1987 at a cost of up to million. Both sides of the road are covered with beautiful green trees. (Photo: Reddit, Rafi Law Firm).
Judge Harry Pregerson (USA) is one of the most complex road intersections in the world. It is known as the monsters of the state of Los Angeles with 34 intertwined lines on 5 levels, 40 m high. Approximately 600,000 vehicles pass through Judge Harry Pregerson each day. This place is named after the federal judge in the case related to the construction of the I-105 highway.

Oyamazaki intersection (Japan) is considered the “craziest” intersection in the country of the rising sun. Here, in order to turn the right way, you have to drive a few laps and most likely lose your way. However, this intersection is quite well designed, allowing the driver to turn in any direction to reach the goal. The interchange consists of several intersecting lines and the Shinkanshen bullet train line below. (Photo: Lets Travel More, SkyscraperCity).
The Arc de Triomphe (France) is the convergence of 12 roads, including the Champs-Elysees, the main avenue of the French capital. Traffic around the Arc de Triomphe is chaotic because there are no traffic lights. The intersection makes many people think of the crowded roads of Southeast Asian countries. (Photo: Paris Select).
The Magic Roundabout (UK) was built in 1972, consisting of one large roundabout and five small roundabouts inside. Magic Roundabout causes confusion, leaving first-time visitors here not knowing how to understand and obey the road markings. Many vehicles participate in traffic, making the famous road in Rome even more cramped. The local government had to arrange a police officer to stand in the center of each small roundabout to guide the first days of operation of the intersection. (Photo: Reddit).
